Vegas Summer League
Where can I stay?
I recommend this location:
Best Western McCarran Inn
4970 Paradise Road
Las Vegas , Nevada
89119-1206,United States
Phone: 7027985530
Fax : 7027987627
It's right by the Cox center and close to the strip. It's also fairly cheap for a hotel by the strip. I believe Hooters, NY,NY and the Mirage are also on the same street as the Cox center.
If you're looking for cheap and don't care how close you are:

See above. Still don't know and will be based on availability of people coming into vegas.
Is anyone famous going to be there?
Dave has confirmed. Can you GET more famous?
Additional information?
Tips will be 19% automatic to the meals.
Food goes from $10-$30 depending on what you get. (salads are about 6 or seven and the menu is online if you go to the link)
Drinks are $8 ea but apparently look cool. Also, Ferengi's may try to buy your girlfriends. I'm going to see how much I can get
All ages
closes at 11pm
How about that cool museum and ride???
Rides start at Noon and run every 20 minutes. Stop at 8:30pm
Museum open from Noon-8:30pm.
Rides are little simulation shuttles that bump you up and down and provide a story.
I've been told the Klingon is the better and so see that last. I have no idea if that's actually factual.
You can go as often as you like as the tickets are day tickets not ride tickets.
Price: 37.99 online or $42.99 in person.
More questions?: 1.888.GOBOLDLY
So what information do you need from us?
I'm so glad you asked!!!
- How many of you are a hankering to go to the dinner? (need to reserve)
- Dave, would other press members be able to attend and should the time be revised if that's the case?
- Are any of you interested in doing the rides as a group before dinner?
- Need this linked or posted on the main page because it didn't stay up for more than two hours yesterday.
Who do we contact?
